The reader 299 18 THE DEEPLY INTERESTING STORY may probably wish to know why the warriors in those two camps must be sent away; in order to save the lives of the prisoners. All persons acquainted with Indian customs, in time of war, know very well that the unhappy wretch who falls into their hands at such a time, is compelled to run what is called the gauntlet, be tween two rows of Indians, composed of warriors, old men, women and children, who, as the prisoner flies between, if possible, to re...ach a certain point assigned, called a council house, or a fort, re ceives from every one who can reach him, a blow with the fist, club, hatchet, or knife, and even wadding fired into their bodies, so that they generally die with their wounds before they reach the appointed place, though they struggle with all the violence of hope and despair. We had now, on the fourth day after the runner had been sent, arrived within about two miles of Niagara, when the Tories began to tell us the danger we soon were to be exposed to, in pass ing those two Indian encampments, which till then, we knew noth ing of; this difficulty they were careful to describe in the most critical manner; so that every step, although so near our journey s end, when we hoped at last to have our hunger satisfied was as the steps of the wretch condemned to die.
